Sharpening is a delicate art rooted in science, a task only experts should undertake.
Unqualified sharpeners often botch shears. The average sharpener uses the wrong equipment and/or methodology. He removes too much metal and doesn't maintain your blades' highly specialized angles, shape, and structure. The result? Your expensive, specialized tool underperforms or fails.

Meticulous methodology and skill set me apart from other sharpeners. I was trained by a master and have studied shear sharpening for years. Cosmetology shears are precisely engineered instruments that deserve expert maintenance. My Japanese process honors that fact.
After disassembly, each blade receives an evaluation and plan of action to address problem areas. The Hira-To--a flat hone designed exclusively to sharpen cosmetology shears--creates a new razor edge on the outer part of your blades. I use the Hira-To to convex each blade and optimize its shape and cutting angle, all while vigilantly conserving metal. Japanese whetstones add the essential finishing touch to the inner part of your blades. Six distinct quality checks ensue. The end result? Hair pops off newly sharpened shears as it should.

| Be sure your sharpener completely disassembles your shears to service them
| Never give your shears to someone who uses a vertical wheel or the Twice-As-Sharp, a machine designed to bevel heavy-duty industrial and kitchen scissors
| Make sure your sharpener uses Japanese stones as part of every sharpening
| After each service, your shears should cut as well as (or better than) they did brand new
